PART ONE: Buffed Dreadnought

This is the easy half of this "combo". Just keep sacrificing Shield Spheres to buff up Arcbound Ravager; then when it comes time to play your Phyrexian Dreadnought, sac the Ravager while it has twelve (or more) +1/+1 counters on it and transfer them to the Dreadnought with its modular ability... as if the Dreadnought wasn't powerful enough.

PART TWO: Working Urn Sac Engine

I'm still working out the kinks in this part of the combo, but this is all I could think of... with the Colfenor's Urn out, cast the Panoptic Mirror and imprint onto it Argivian Restoration. Now that the preparation is done, while you have a Shield Sphere in play, you can cast Pack Hunt to bring out three more Spheres. Now start sacrificing your Spheres to your desired source (in this combo, the Ravager). At the end of your turn, if you've sac'd three or more Spheres to the Urn, it'll sacrifice itself to bring your Spheres back to play. Then with the card imprinted on your Mirror, at the beginning of your upkeep, the Urn will come back into play, starting the cycle over again.

Fun stuff! I mean, it's nothing to build a deck around but a sac artifact deck could easily benefit from these cards even if its mid or late game. Using trinket mages to fetch a sphere and the dreadnought could work wonders, and other artifact fetch cards could easily be woven in to get the rest.

And while we're at it, why don't we throw in a few cheap yet powerful Equipment cards? Let's see; what would compliment a 24/24 (bare minimum) artifact creature with trample? The first two things I would think of are Bladed Pinions and Grafted Exoskeleton... and maybe an Inquisitor's Flail and/or a Mage Slayer (if you have a source of red mana).

(I suggested Vorrac Battlehorns earlier, but that does nothing for the Dreadnought.)

you could also throw in that karn silver golem, salvaging station, one casting mana artifact combo for some extra artifact sac

Oh, miley... miley, miley, miley... I don't think you understand what an alternative is.

I'm trying to show off something different than the typical sacrifice engines. It may not be particularly better than other devices people have concocted, but it's different and maybe the people want to see something different once in a while.
